When I was a young lad I took 4 years of Judo. I competed alot and eventually qualified for the Nationals. I never won but I did get to compete on a national level.
I got started for much the same reason as Dan. I was a shrimp and kids in the neighborhood were picking on me.
Once it got around that I was taking judo the number of fights I had during the summer quadrupled. The number of fights I lost shrank to zero.
Taking Judo and attending competitions colored my early childhood and I can still count in Japanese.
I took Karate later when I was in my teens but I never took to it like I did Judo.
